Sandbags available in Jackson Co, Hancock Co

South Mississippi is bracing for a round of heavy rain over the next couple of days, and with that rain comes the possibility of flooding in some areas.

There are reports that some places in South Mississippi could see as much as 11 inches of rain through Saturday evening.

Emergency management agencies in Jackson County and Hancock County have set up locations where residents can fill sandbags to counter flooding conditions. Bags will be provided, but residents will have to bring their own shovels to scoop the sand.

The locations in Jackson County will open to the public at 11 a.m., and the locations in Hancock County will open at noon.
